I thought the second book was better than the first. It's a quick read, and I couldn't put it down. I'm glad I thought ahead and already have the 3rd book ready.

These books are absolutely awesome! I love the world the author created, it's so interesting.
About the "love triangle": I kind of feel sad for Josh, it's obvious he still has feelings for Cammie and she isn't over him already. Then there's Zach. I have mixed feelings for him. Sometimes he is really sweet and cool, but then it looks like he's keeping a lot of secrets and playing with Cammie.
Well, I'm really anxious to read the next book.

It's fine. I think it was better with Josh as the love interest. More forbidden and interesting problems than what was brought up here. It was fine and the characters are fine, but the boys were all very flat and the times I was most interested were the times Josh was part of the equation. I won't likely be continuing with this series. I think the continuation was decided after the success of the first one because of the forgetting tea thing. This was just predictable and felt like a complete change of direction. Maybe it would all fit together after reading the whole series, but meh. Not worth it for me. There's no real danger or stakes it feels like which just takes all the interest out of it.

I am not sure if I will want to continue with this series. I will probably read one more book (since I needed a spy book for a challenge), but after that I will probably drop the series. Unless, of course, it changes for the better.
It was the typical formula in this book. Take one girl who thinks she is a spy, add a boy, add stupidity and such and voilĂ , practically the same book as the previous book. I frankly got bored and kept replacing Zach's name with that guy from the previous book. They are both dicks, so that also doesn't help.
Our main character is a spy, or well a spy in training. And while we get the continuous thing that Cammie is awesome and wonderful, I just didn't see it. She does stupid things, lets boys come between her studies and her work as a spy. She is just like any teenage girl, OMG a boy! *forgets everything around her and acts like an idiot*. It gets a bit annoying and it also made me frustrated. For a so-said awesome spy I had expected more.
The same goes for most of the school. They are all spies, but as soon as they see a boy they forget everything there is.
Zach is an enormous dick and I hated him throughout the whole book. I don't like guys who act all superior and treat girls like they do in this book.
He kept bothering and stalking Cammie, and he didn't take a no from her at all. It just got annoying.
The ending is the only thing that saved the book from a dramatical 1 star. The rest of the book is pretty much the same blabla and it is a whole lot of boring.
